Hi folks, First post on here although I have referred to plenty of advice on here in the past. I know there's similar posts been answered before but I could do with a bit of specific advice for mine if anybody is willing. The house was built in 1952 as a 3 bed semi, it was extended in 1985 to add a further bedroom, garage, utility, downstairs WC and a back sitting room. The boiler is circa 10 years old so I'm not planning on doing anything with that for now. The old part of the house (lounge, dining room, hall, landing, master and 2nd bedroom) all needs re-wiring as they are on the original wiring. The extension is ok. We are knocking the kitchen/diner wall through and then having a new kitchen fitted along with floor, spotlights etc. The bathroom also needs replacing early on. The plan is to do the two kid's bedrooms, bathroom, re-wire, kitchen/diner all at the front end and then see how we fare once all that lot is complete. Anybody got any thoughts on sequence, timings etc? Is it a bit of a suck it and see until after the re-wire is complete? Will that determine what needs doing and when?
